December 29th, 2010 in Cheesecake, Hall of Fame, Jazz by lpcoverlover | 11 Comments

Jonah Jones   “I Dig Chicks!” Capitol Records     This one is in the Hall of Fame.   I’ve had this record since I was a kid.     I would sit on the floor listening with the cover on my lap dreaming of getting a job as a construction crane operator some day.   Incidentally, this album won the Grammy for best Jazz Group Performance of 1958.   (Seems hard to believe considering the amazing jazz that was being recorded that year by Miles, Monk, Mingus, etc., etc.!)

    I picked this one up a couple years ago in a garage sale. Nice to know I wasn’t alone in thinking it was Hall of Fame material!

    capri pants were one of the great things about the late ’50s and early ’60s…mary tyler moore was *hot* in those on the DVD show.

    I think this cover and the pun in the album title are great.

    And of course I’m guessing that there was a safety net beneath them.
